Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the TimeLine daily history puzzle game and related services (the “Service”) operated by Timmie Hemmingsson, a sole trader in Sweden trading as Vireo (“we”, “us”, “our”), at Vistorp Kullen 1, 521 95 Kättilstorp, Sweden, reachable at support@aver-web.se. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account and use the Service. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian must agree to these Terms for you and must consent before you buy a paid plan — we do not ask you to warrant a legal capacity that föräldrabalken does not give you. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.

2. Your Account

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately at support@aver-web.se if you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account. You may delete your account at any time through the app’s account settings or by contacting us.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes. You may use the Service to play puzzles, track your progress and share results.

3.1 Prohibited Actions

• Creating accounts using false or fraudulent information.
• Attempting to access another user’s account, data, or game results without authorization.
• Using bots, scripts, or automated tools to play puzzles, submit answers, or manipulate leaderboards.
• Reverse engineering, decompiling, or disassembling any part of the Service, except as permitted by applicable law.
• Interfering with or disrupting the Service’s servers, databases, or network infrastructure.
• Submitting false, misleading, or inappropriate content through community features such as event submissions or user profiles.
• Using the Service to transmit any malware, viruses, or harmful code.
• Circumventing, disabling, or tampering with subscription or payment systems.

Breaking these rules can lead to your account being suspended or closed. Section 8 says how that works, and it applies here too.

4. Subscriptions and Payments

4.1 Plans

We offer a free tier with daily puzzles and a premium subscription (“Premium”) that unlocks additional features such as endless mode, advanced statistics, and additional puzzle categories. Premium is available as a monthly or annual subscription.

4.2 Billing

• Web: Payments are processed by Stripe. Your subscription will be billed to the payment method you provide at checkout.
• Android: Payments are processed by Google Play Billing.

4.3 Currency

Prices are in Swedish kronor. If you pay in another currency, Stripe converts the amount at checkout using its own exchange rate, which includes a conversion fee, and shows you the exact amount before you confirm. On Android, Google Play sets and charges the price in your local currency.

4.4 Auto-Renewal

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle (monthly or annually) unless you cancel before the renewal date. The price stays the same unless we tell you about a change at least 30 days before the renewal it applies to, and you may cancel before that renewal rather than pay the new price. For an annual plan bought on this website we email you at least one month before the last day you can cancel to stop the renewal, telling you the date and the price. If we fail to, you may end the plan with immediate effect and we refund the unused part.

4.5 Cancellation

You can cancel your subscription at any time:

• Web: Cancel through the Stripe Customer Portal linked from your profile settings, or contact support@aver-web.se.
• Android: Cancel through the Google Play Store subscription settings.

Upon cancellation, your Premium access remains active until the end of the current billing period. Beyond that we do not credit partial billing periods, except where the law gives you a refund or these Terms promise one — section 8 if we close your account, and section 10 if you reject a change, a change impairs your plan, or we discontinue Premium.

4.6 Right of withdrawal and refunds

You have a 14-day right of withdrawal under the Swedish Distance Contracts Act (distansavtalslagen 2005:59), counted from the day you buy Premium, and we do not ask you to give it up. If you withdraw within those 14 days, we refund the whole amount you paid, to the payment method you used, within 14 days, and your subscription and your Premium access end when we receive your withdrawal. You do not have to give a reason. For a purchase made on the web, use the withdrawal function at timeline.aver-web.se/withdraw — it is linked as “Withdraw from contract” in the footer of the home page and of these Terms, and from Settings → Subscription while the 14 days run — or tell us by email at support@aver-web.se or by post to the address in section 11. A withdrawal sent within the 14 days counts even if it reaches us later. We confirm receipt by email, stating the time we received it. An automatic renewal does not start a new 14-day period. Changing to a different plan does: new 14 days start on the day of the change, the withdrawal function opens again for them, and a withdrawal in them refunds what you paid for the new plan since the change — the earlier plan was used as agreed. After those 14 days, konsumentköplagen (2022:260) still applies — if the Service is faulty or is not what you were sold, you may be entitled to a price reduction or to your money back — and the promises in these Terms still apply, section 8 among them. A refund is a goodwill decision only where neither the law nor these Terms already gives you one. If you bought through Google Play, you have the same 14-day right. Ask Google for the refund in Google Play → Payments and subscriptions; if Google declines, write to support@aver-web.se and we refund you ourselves.

4.7 How the contract is made

You choose a plan on our pricing page and are taken to Stripe’s checkout, where you see the full price and can correct your details before you confirm. The contract is made when you confirm payment. You can make it in English or Swedish. We do not keep a separate copy of the contract for you: these Terms stay at this address, with their date, and we email you a confirmation with the main terms and how to withdraw. On Android, Google Play’s purchase screen takes Stripe’s place.

4.8 Model withdrawal form

(complete and return this form only if you wish to withdraw from the contract)

You do not have to use this form, and the withdrawal function is quicker. If you prefer, copy it into an email or a letter.

To: Timmie Hemmingsson (Vireo), Vistorp Kullen 1, 521 95 Kättilstorp, Sweden, support@aver-web.se

I hereby give notice that I withdraw from my contract for the provision of the following service: TimeLine Premium

• Ordered on:
• Name of consumer:
• Address of consumer:
• Signature of consumer (only if this form is notified on paper):
• Date:

5. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, software, game mechanics, and content (historical event data, descriptions, and images), is owned by Vireo and protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. Historical event data sourced from Wikipedia and Wikidata is used under their respective licenses.

You retain ownership of your game results and personal content. By using the Service, you grant us a license to store and process your game data for the purpose of providing the Service, including displaying your results on leaderboards and in multiplayer games as applicable.

6. Disclaimers

Nothing in this section limits the conformity requirements konsumentköplagen (2022:260) places on a digital service supplied for payment, the remedies it gives you when the Service does not meet them, or any promise made elsewhere in these Terms. Subject to that, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without further warranties, and we do not guarantee that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. Historical event dates and descriptions are provided for entertainment and educational purposes and may contain inaccuracies.

If something is wrong with the Service, tell us by email or post (section 11) as soon as you can, and say what is wrong. You have the rights konsumentköplagen (2022:260) chapter 9 gives you: we put it right, and if we cannot do so within a reasonable time you may get a price reduction or end the subscription and get money back.

TimeLine runs in current versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge, and on Android 7.0 or later, with an internet connection. If a fault turns out to be caused by your own device or connection and these requirements were not met, we are not responsible for it.

7. Limitation of Liability

Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for death or personal injury, for damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence, or for anything else that cannot be limited under Swedish law. Nor does anything here reduce your rights as a consumer. Chapter 9 of the Swedish Consumer Sales Act (konsumentköplagen 2022:260) covers digital content and digital services, and chapter 1, section 10 of that Act makes any term less favourable to you than the Act itself without effect against you.

We are liable for the loss our failures cause you as konsumentköplagen (2022:260) provides.

To the extent Swedish law allows it to be excluded, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profit or revenue.

8. Termination

You may close your account at any time by deleting it in the app or by contacting us. Deletion takes effect immediately. If you have a paid subscription taken out on the web, deleting the account cancels it: the deletion cancels it in Stripe before anything is removed. Should that cancellation fail we delete anyway, because we will not refuse an erasure request over a payment provider — write to support@aver-web.se if a charge is taken afterwards and we will refund it. A Google Play subscription is held by Google rather than by us, so we cannot cancel it: it keeps running, and you cancel it in the Play Store under Payments and subscriptions, which still works after the account is gone.

We may suspend or close your account if you materially breach these Terms — for example by manipulating results, attacking the Service, or using it fraudulently. Where it is reasonable to do so, we will tell you first and give you a chance to put it right. We will not close a paid account without cause; if we close one for any reason other than your breach, we refund the remaining prepaid period after closure. When an account closes, the licences and rights granted to you under these Terms end with it.

9. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

Swedish law applies, but it never takes away the mandatory consumer protection of the country where you live. You may take a dispute to the courts in Sweden or in the country where you live; if we ever have to take you to court, we do so where you live.

Before starting legal proceedings, please write to support@aver-web.se — most things are settled that way.

You can also take a dispute to the Swedish National Board for Consumer Disputes (Allmänna reklamationsnämnden, ARN) at arn.se, or ARN, Box 174, 101 23 Stockholm. ARN decides whether it can examine the dispute under its own rules; current information about its application fee, value thresholds, time limits and exceptions is on arn.se. If ARN examines the dispute, we take part in the proceedings and we follow its recommendation.

10. Changes to These Terms and to the Service

We may revise these Terms from time to time. We will tell you about material changes through the app or by email at least 30 days before they take effect. If you do not accept a change, you may cancel before it takes effect and we refund the remaining prepaid period. If a change materially impairs a paid plan, you may end the subscription for that reason within 30 days of the later of our notice and the change taking effect, with the same refund — you do not have to delete your account to do either. No change reduces the rights you have under Swedish law.

We may change TimeLine while you subscribe, for these reasons only: to fix faults or security problems, to follow the law or a decision by an authority, to keep working with browsers, Android and the services we depend on, or to improve the product. A change never costs you extra. If a change makes your access or use of a paid plan worse in more than a minor way, we tell you clearly, in writing (by email), in good time before it happens. You may then end the subscription with immediate effect within 30 days of our message or of the change, whichever is later, and we refund what you paid for the time after that.

If we discontinue TimeLine Premium, we tell you by email at least 60 days before it stops, and we refund what you paid in advance for any time after that date.
